Breaking silos

Introduction

In episode 172 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we don’t talk too much about technology, but more about something that often prevents technology to be applied. Back when I was at SAP, one of the biggest challenges that I saw with customers – especially with bigger customers – was that the SAP team is not talking to the non-SAP team. In a lot of organizations there is a dedicated team in IT that looks after the SAP environment and an IT team that is looking after the rest. They often don’t even sit on the same floor or build which leads to disconnected projects. So today we talk about that and discuss how we can address this.

• The SAP team and the non-SAP team often have different perspectives, responsibilities, and knowledge, and they need to communicate and understand each other better.
• The cloud adoption framework provides a common language and a guide for the cloud journey, and it helps to establish cross-functional teams that can work together on strategy, governance, operation, and adoption.
• The well-architected framework provides a huge set of best practices and checklists that can help to optimize the cloud infrastructure and services, and to align them with the business goals and requirements.
• The DevOps mentality and tools can help to automate and standardize the cloud deployment and operation, and to enable faster and more flexible testing and innovation.
